At least not the captivating extent I used to. Very frustrating, like what
is wrong with me?
It?s been this way for over 6 months or more, I?ve been eating my way
through piles of music and the sput lists don?t help either, rarely anything
new for me. What should I do to resolve this, any of you had a similar
experience?

Get into an overly complex genre that demands one hundred percent of your faith, your passion, and
attention. And you might need to collaborate with it, reading books and finding enjoyment. And you
might, indeed, find pleasure in these dual arts today being synced. Since you're probably holding on
less regard the art of music ---Are you living inside your comfortable shell? My friend, In fact you
are --just escape from that unbearable pressure & live forever, live eternally in the kingdom of
paratactic music!

@captain: well, I'm the sort of guy who always runs away from things. So no, I lack the knowledge and the will power to compose my own music. Maybe I should get on that, but I feel so old lol (24 almost)

Well, I am in some ways. I don't fear danger, death, confrontations,... But I do run from matters that could get me out of my routine life. How boring that life may be and how favourable these matters could be.

I just kept exploring around, until I found a comfortable genre for me: blackened folk metal, and some of the black metal/shoe gaze bands. I've actually been able to listen to melodeath again, and enjoy it. I guess you have to let certain genres cool down, and sometimes that takes a long time. When you listen to too much music you get overwhelmed by the volume. That Yasushi Yoshida album is nice, I also like toe, World's End Girlfriend, Kashiwa Daisuke when listening to that kind of thing.

Stop listening to so much emo/indie and start jammin some experimental/avant garde shit. Mainly just start getting into new genres. Expand and mix things up. Ive slowly been going through the top albums of every genre/subgenre on RYM for a couple weeks now and Ive discovered some really unique shit.

This has absolutely happened to me before, an music remains my greatest passion of almost 10 years (I'm 17). I think the more intense the relationship, the greater the fallout can be, and this is why you have to have faith in your love for music and step away for it for a while. Stop listening to music entirely and then come back to it when it feels right. You'll find an incredible feeling of excitement when you eventually come back to it. I'm the same in that if I didn't have music, I would have offed myself at some point through high school. Just have faith in your underlying love for it and let go for a while

It's pretty simple man...go see a concert lol...go get drunk and maybe even see something with more energy than you're used to....you could even grab a few drinks at a restaurant and then go home and listen to something...I'm always in the mood to jam to some music after having a few drinks....last resort would be to upgrade your sound output to something with better quality

I agree with Electric City. I started over with a new sputnik account because of how overwhelming the constant listening to music was. I had too many ratings that I can now look back on and i'm like lolwut.

Really though I'd rec listening to favorites then once in a while listen to new stuff. That's what i'm doing

Do what normal people do and listen to music where you don't have to think/analyze too much. I think you just need a palette cleanser because sometimes I just don't have the attention span for full on albums and just make playlists/put itunes on shuffle, and after a week or so I can listen to things again. Usually I'll go with anything that has a hook/chorus to it or I'm familiar enough with to know inside out, or instrumentals/classical.

You need to get out of your comfort zone (musically). Judging from your pie chart, you're an indie kind of guy (emo and post-rock fall into the spectrum of indie as well). That being said, stay away from Indie for a month or two. Try listening to something you're not well versed in. Maybe Electronica? Folk? Hip-hop? Jazz?

This has happened to me a few times, the first time it was because the shit I was listening to for up to a full year then had nearly bored me to death. Dug into some other stuff and felt a helluva lot better. Every other time has been because of depression. I have social anxiety and I became a complete social recluse. It's something that just became too much, and music couldn't help. I just fought through it and after spending some time indulging my other interests, I started to feel better.

Thankfully, it's not something I've had to deal with recently, and I can only hope I won't have to anytime soon.

I don't really have much to suggest that hasn't already been said. I'd stop worrying about how to get out of it and then it'll just happen. Distract yourself by concentrating on studying/working/whatever you do and I reckon you'll suddenly just be back in the game

This happened to me once for like a month, I forgot how I got out of it..But I guess you could try going waaaaay out of your musical comfort zone..try some metul bra, or you could go back to your roots and listen to your old faves and rerealize why you started to love music in the first place,
